I wonder if a newspaper co-op is a viable idea?

I do feel like there's a turn happening in the economy, or at least, some new scene growing. Or maybe I'm just finally becoming aware of it. That being, rejection of monopolized products.

I've never seen so much activity around Linux, for example. Or, I follow a content creator called SkillUp who just launched a videogames news site with revenue purely from subscriptions, and apparently they got way more subs than they expected. And as has been mentioned, lots of indie games have been getting funding lately, and a relatively small studio just crushed the game awards circuit.

Unsure about a newspaper per se, but there are a number of news blogs that are co-ops.

Examples I know of in Canada include:

- NB Media Coop: https://nbmediacoop.org/

- Pivot: https://pivot.quebec/

Also, here's a game dev co-op from Montreal that has been around since 2012 as a bonus: https://ko-opmode.com/
